Hey everyone!
I missed writing on here and I'm hoping to be able to write some more as time goes on. So many things are happening here! Exciting things!!!! I'm opening my own nail salon! I know, I know, I wasn't even sure if I wanted to go back to work. Now, I'm jumping in with both feet and I'm up to my eyeballs with getting it up and running. I'm sooo excited about this. I just feels right for this moment. I KNOW it's going to be a success. I'm hoping to have it up and running within a month. Big changes, right?

Here on the farm things haven't really changed much. But, with me going to work, I'm more motivated to get things done here in the small amount of time that I do have to work on them. I don't know, maybe this is what I needed. Just a little kick in the pant. lol

The garden has been cut back to half of it's size than what we usually have it. But, it's being taken care of a lot better. It's one of the prettiest gardens that we have ever had. I'll go and get some pictures a little later. Right now, it's raining outside and we really needed it. Although our neighbor has about 3 acres of hay down in his field. At least he got most of it up before it rained on it.

The dogs are doing great. As they have gotten older, they are slowly getting more lazy. It works out better for us especially now that I'm at work part of the day. It doesn't bother them to sleep most of the day away until I come home to let them out to play.

I feel like there is so much to tell you all and not really enough space (or time) to do it. So I figured if I keep you all up to date a little as a time, it will be easier for all of us. I just hit the high spots right now. Maybe in later post,(and there WILL be later posts. yay!) I'll give more details about how things are going.

About Me

I grew up on 2 acres of land north of Columbus OH. Mom had a small garden,I had a horse,and Dad had his tractor, but we were far from what you would call homesteaders. It wasn't until I moved to Kentucky and married my husband did I start to have a small interest in growing a garden again. We have a few head of cattle, a small herd of horses, a flock of chickens and 2 dogs. And the garden, it keeps growing and growing each year. We decided we want to be more self-reliant. I don't know much about homesteading, but I'm willing to learn as I go. Oh, this could get good.
